Product details
Overview
BUK9M9R5-40HX from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101 qualified N-channel logic-level MOSFET in LFPAK33 (SOT1210) package, rated for 40 V VDS, 9.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, and 40 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C. It employs Trench 9 superjunction technology and copper-clip LFPAK construction for high power density and robustness in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BUK9M9R5-40HX datasheet, BUK9M9R5-40HX pinout, BUK9M9R5-40HX application, or BUK9M9R5-40HX equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175 °C junction rating, repetitive avalanche capability, gull-wing lead form for AOI compatibility, and low RDS(on) at 4.5 V gate drive for 12 V system compatibility.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses Trench 9 TrenchMOS superjunction architecture to achieve low conduction losses while maintaining fast switching performance: QGD = 1.7–3.5 nC at VGS = 4.5 V and QG(tot) = 17–24 nC at VGS = 10 V. Its source-drain diode exhibits soft reverse recovery (S = 0.63) and low Qr = 14 nC, supporting efficient synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters.
The LFPAK33 package integrates a thermally optimized copper clip connecting the die directly to the mounting base, delivering Rth(j-mb) = 2.51–2.74 K/W and enabling high-power operation with minimal PCB thermal design overhead. The device is fully characterized for operation across Tj = −55 °C to 175 °C and supports pulsed drain currents up to 218 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage compatible with 12 V automotive systems with transient margin. |
| RDS(on) | 9.5 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V, ID = 15 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables low conduction loss in high-current load switches. |
| ID cont. | 40 A at Tmb = 25 °C - Validated continuous current under ideal thermal mounting conditions. |
| EAS | 19 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - Supports unclamped inductive switching in motor drive and solenoid control. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 2.51 K/W typical - Junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance enables direct heatsinking without thermal vias. |
| QGD | 1.7–3.5 nC at VGS = 4.5 V - Low gate-drain charge minimizes Miller-induced switching delay and improves hard-switching efficiency. |
| VGS(th) | 0.7–2.15 V - Logic-level threshold ensures full enhancement with standard 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller outputs. |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK33 (SOT1210) is a surface-mount, single-ended copper-clip package with gull-wing leads and an exposed metal mounting base electrically connected to the drain. Its 8-lead configuration provides triple-source terminals for low-inductance, high-current source return paths and enhanced thermal transfer to the PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source (S) | Three parallel source terminals reduce source inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt applications. |
| 4 | Gate (G) | Single gate input with low RG = 0.3–2.3 Ω - minimizes gate drive power and improves switching speed control. |
| Mounting Base | Drain (D) | Exposed copper pad tied internally to drain - serves as primary thermal path and high-current drain connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified to 175 °C | Validated reliability for under-hood automotive environments including engine control and chassis modules. |
| Trench 9 superjunction technology | Enables 9.5 mΩ RDS(on) at 40 V rating - achieves higher power density than planar MOSFETs in same footprint. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Withstands repeated inductive turn-off stress without degradation - eliminates need for external snubbers in motor drives. |
| Gull-wing leads | Facilitates automated optical inspection (AOI) and improves solder joint reliability versus J-leads or QFNs. |
| Soft reverse recovery diode | S = 0.63 and Qr = 14 nC - reduces EMI and voltage overshoot during freewheeling in DC-DC and LED drivers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 40 V automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | Higher RDS(on) (11.5 mΩ typ), same LFPAK56 package but larger footprint and higher Rth(j-mb) (3.2 K/W). | Requires larger PCB area and more thermal copper; less suitable for space-constrained body modules. | Prefer when higher peak current (220 A) is required and board space allows. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | Lower RDS(on) (7.2 mΩ typ), SO-8FL package with higher Rth(j-mb) (4.5 K/W) and no avalanche rating. | Lacks repetitive avalanche ruggedness and has inferior thermal performance - unsuitable for motor drive surge conditions. | Prefer only for low-stress, low-temperature logic-level switching where avalanche immunity is not needed. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and NTMFS4C09NT1G, BUK9M9R5-40HX delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), industry-leading thermal resistance, and certified avalanche capability in the smallest qualified LFPAK33 footprint - making it the preferred choice for thermally constrained, high-reliability 12 V automotive loads.

FAQ
Is BUK9M9R5-40HX pin-compatible with other LFPAK33 MOSFETs?
Yes - BUK9M9R5-40HX uses the standardized SOT1210 footprint with identical 0.65 mm lead pitch and mounting base layout. Pin 1–3 are source, Pin 4 is gate, and the exposed base is drain, matching all Nexperia and compatible LFPAK33 N-channel MOSFETs.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal performance?
The datasheet specifies a minimum 3.2 mm × 2.0 mm mounting pad (Fig. 18) with 6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, 0.65 mm pitch). For 40 A continuous operation, Nexperia recommends ≥200 mm² of 2-oz copper connected to the mounting base via ≥8 thermal vias.
Does BUK9M9R5-40HX require a gate resistor for automotive 12 V applications?
A gate resistor is recommended: 5 Ω external resistance is used in the datasheet's switching time characterization (Fig. 3, Fig. 13). This value balances EMI suppression and switching speed - lower values increase dV/dt stress; higher values degrade efficiency in PWM applications.
Can BUK9M9R5-40HX be used in synchronous rectification without external diode control?
Yes - its integrated source-drain diode has soft recovery (S = 0.63) and low Qr = 14 nC, enabling self-synchronous operation in low-frequency (<200 kHz) buck converters. For >300 kHz, active gate control is advised to minimize body diode conduction loss.
